Ethics, Decision-Making, & Professionalism for Interpreters

Catalog description

Advisory: INT 101. This course will provide an exploration of ethical theories and frameworks that interpreters may identify with when determining their own personal values and ethics. Students will learn to make decisions that also include an understanding of power-relationships between deaf and non-deaf persons, myriad cultural considerations, and equity issues that exist in interpreting settings. Real-world situations will be presented for students to analyze, determine the issues, make recommendations, and discuss the possible outcomes and consequences of the decisions. (CSU, AVC)
